.TH CRYPT_GENHASH_IMPL 3C "Jun 10, 2002"
.SH NAME
crypt_genhash_impl \- generate encrypted password
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.nf
#include <crypt.h>

\fBchar *\fR\fBcrypt_genhash_impl\fR(\fBchar *\fR\fIctbuffer\fR, \fBsize_t\fR \fIctbufflen\fR,
     \fBconst char *\fR\fIplaintext\fR, \fBconst char *\fR\fIsalt\fR, \fBconst char **\fR\fIparams\fR);
.fi

.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
The \fBcrypt_genhash_impl()\fR function is called by \fBcrypt\fR(3C) to
generate the encrypted password \fIplaintext\fR.
.sp
.LP
The \fIctbuffer\fR argument is a pointer to an MT-safe buffer of
\fIctbufflen\fR size that is used to return the result.
.sp
.LP
The \fIsalt\fR argument is the salt used in encoding.
.sp
.LP
The \fIparams\fR argument is an \fIargv\fR-like null-terminated vector of type
\fBchar *\fR. The first element of \fIparams\fR represents the mechanism token
name from \fBcrypt.conf\fR(5). The remaining elements of \fIparams\fR represent
strings of the form <\fBparameter\fR>[=<\fBvalue\fR>] to allow passing in
additional information from the \fBcrypt.conf\fR entry, such as specifying
rounds information "\fBrounds=4096\fR".
.sp
.LP
The \fBcrypt_genhash_impl()\fR function must not \fBfree\fR(3C) \fIctbufflen\fR
on error.
.SH RETURN VALUES
.LP
Upon successful completion, \fBcrypt_genhash_impl()\fR returns a pointer to the
encoded version of \fIplaintext\fR. Otherwise a null pointer is returned and
\fBerrno\fR is set to indicate the error.
.SH ERRORS
.LP
The \fBcrypt_genhash_impl()\fR function will fail if:
.sp
